Artwork Description

Elise.
This was the result of a four hour session at my studio. The intention of this portrait was to render a beautifully realised image that also exuded the feeling of progress and incompleteness.

I've always had a soft spot for partially painted works as they offer insight into the method of an artist, share surreal qualities, and suggest a narrative beyond what has been put to canvas.

This canvas is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The creation of this piece was filmed and cut to timelapse (see video link in gallery above).

Jack Post stands slouched over slightly while glaring off to the middle distance. His expression sits somewhere between distracted and resentful.

He is dressed as Batmanโ€™s Robin, in a typical 1960s camp Robin costume, complete with tights, leather gloves and a long cape.

Smoke fills the bottom of the portrait.Madonna and the Child depicts a young woman, dressed in robes, resembling the Virgin Mary. She is sitting on the ground and her head is illuminated by a circular halo, similar to those seen in religious images of Madonna. Rather than looking over an infant Jesus, this version of the Virgin Mary is gazing over a levitating metallic crib containing Baby Yoda.A young woman sits in a dark shallow space, an intimate setting that draws the viewer's attention exclusively on her.  She faces away from the viewer, but looks back over her left shoulder.

A large ear spacer (or tunnel) is visible in her left earlobe. Her hair is cut very short on one side of her head, and her blonde hair is flipped over the right side of her head.The subject of this black and white artwork is Australian comedian Mark Samual Bonano. Mark is wearing a traditional Italian harlequin clown costume - a skin tight body suit covered in diamond pattern. He is adorned with neck and wrist ruffles. Mark is kneeling on the ground while holding an oversized rose. 

While he first appears to be smiling, closer inspection reveals that his expression appears to mask sadness. He stares forlornly into the middle distance.
